Old vs. New View of Pain

This image is from the NOI Group and their latest book: Resolve Back Pain Handbook.

*with permission

This book is LOADED with amazing, evidence based information.

BUT! It isn't enough to see this as the brain or nervous system having an issue, you need to understand how this happened. Unknowingly a process that was trying to protect the person but somewhere along the way it got out of hand.

P.S. If you are looking at this and the conference is still on, I have 5 copies for sale. $45 CDN.

Message me for your copy (I leave at 11am Sunday).

This is more than just asking what their 'pain scale' number is, it is taking into account the mental load of living with daily, exhausting pain.

Somatic Tracking for Pain

The Big Picture of Pain

Input was taken for the 26th Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society (2017). 

This is the metamodel of the factors that contribute to low back pain & disability.
